Chino Chinatown

Take It on the Chino

Asian Things. Latin Things. Good Things.

Cross the bridge for Chino Chinatown, Trinity Groves’ newest inhabitant and one you’ll visit
for Latin-Asian-fusion dinners and cocktails on tap, now open.

Inside, it’s kind of like a Chinese junk boat. Assuming you focus on the heavy wooden tables and the
red ropes draped across the ceiling and ignore the handsome square bar and open window looking into the
kitchen.

So, it’s the first Monday of 2014... It’s freezing outside and you’re back at work. Right, this calls
for drinks. Probably several. Go ahead and grab a red bar stool, a Japanese beer or a Madeira sangaree
(brandy, coriander, lemon, port) as you lock eyes with the sultry, tattooed woman staring back at you.
She’s a wall mural. Don’t make it weird.
